The Houston Chronicle confirmed on Wednesday that the baseball coach who told a kid from Colorado he would not consider recruiting him because marijuana is legal in his home state is the real deal.

“We’re definitely aware of the email sent out by our baseball coach and the comments he made are in no way a reflection of Texas Wesleyan University, its values or its recruiting practices,” Texas Wesleyan representative John Veilleux said. “This is a personnel matter and it is currently under investigation. We follow due process here. It is our university policy to not discuss personnel matters.”

The university also posted the message on its Twitter page with a note that it does not condone discrimination.
